At 65 years previous, the legendary African boxer, Azumah Nelson, showcased his enduring boxing prowess in an exhibition match on Saturday, May 4, 2024.
Engaging in a three-round bout with the European Union (EU) Ambassador to Ghana, Irchad Razaaly, Azumah proved that age has not dimmed his abilities.
The viewers on the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra witnessed the pair’s entertaining show of shadow boxing and playful demonstration of boxing methods.
The exhibition match, a part of the celebrations for the EU Month in May, was titled “Diplo-Rumble: Empowering Youth Through Sports,” aiming to spotlight the talents of younger Bukom boxers and promote youth empowerment by way of sports activities.
Despite the pleasant nature of the competitors, with the judges declaring the match a draw, it was evident that the occasion targeted extra on demonstration and pleasure than on competitors.
